Abstract
Icosahedral phage and collections thereof that display various compounds are provided. In some instances, the icosahedral phage include nucleic acid tags that serve to record a characteristic of the compound or compounds that are attached to the phage. A number of different methods for using the icosahedral phage to screen a library of compounds for a desired biological activity are also provided, especially assays for compounds that are substrates for receptor-mediated transport processes such as endocytosis and transcytosis.
